Got your pinch of salt? Good, keep it handy, just in case. According to Eurogamer, who cite three anonymous sources, the Nintendo Switch will run older GameCube titles through its Virtual Console. Although it’s still unconfirmed, Eurogamer has been right about these things before, particularly with the God of Warleak earlier this year.

AMD’s Zen processor family is undoubtedly the most talked-about architecture hitting the ground next year, and rumours have been flying everywhere on the net with people trying to speculate what it will look like, and what kind of performance it’s going to offer to enthusiasts. Most rumours start out on Chinese forums with little substance or evidence to lend them some credibility, but some come from sources that couldn’t possibly be false, and this generates a flurry of new discussions on the internet as people try make sense of them. As it happens, a deluge of new rumours arrived this past week from a thread on the locally-based Carbonite forums. The contents of the thread were never meant to be shared all over the internet, but it happened anyway. Let’s dig into the rumours and what they might mean for AMD’s launch in 2017.

Holy crap, you guys, the rumour mill is spitting out some absolute gems right now concerning the Xbox One.

According to a host of sources, Microsoft currently has two new Xbox One versions in the works. The first is a streamlined, more affordable Xbox One, and the second is a model codenamed Scorpio, which is rumoured to be more than four times as powerful as the current version. Exciting stuff! Loads more info after the jump.

Several pieces of alleged God of War 4 concept art and design notes have leaked online. At the moment, nothing is confirmed or certain, so take this news with so many pinches of salt that you turn into a natural snail repellent. [HA! – Ed.]

Timed exclusive (one of the lamest marketing things the gaming industry does) Rise of the Tomb Raider hit Xbox One recently, and was met with an extremely positive critical reception. Tarryn reviewed it (because she’s, like, the only one of us who owns an Xbox One) and enjoyed it; you can read about that here.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was announced as an “Xbox exclusive” at Gamescom in 2014. The announcement was met with a lot of criticism, and it was later revealed that actually by “Xbox exclusive” Microsoft really meant “timed exclusive”. The game was scheduled to hit PC in “early 2016” and the PlayStation 4 a year later.

Amazon France seems to have jumped the gun insofar as a concrete release date goes for the PC version of the game. According to their per-order listing, Rise of the Tomb Raider will hit PCs on 29 January 2016. The online retailer has since updated their listing, removing the date and replacing it with “Bientôt disponible”, or “coming soon” in English.
